Take a look at these "User Styles" which modify the default about:home page. Looks like around 160 "styles" to view, so you should find something there. https://userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=about%3Ahome

Beyond that, have you worked with css code at all? If so, the about:home page can be easily modified via a userContent.css file. http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css

Start the "script" with
@-moz-document url(about:home) 
and then add your CSS code for what you want to modify, change, or hide. Read this answer in context 👍 0

Hey! Thanks for the respond. I havent worked with css and I dont rerally want to do it with userstyles. Is there a way to do it by myself by changing it some easy way? Thanks again !

No, using a UserStyle is the easiest. There is no "setting" in Firefox which can be changed, "code" is needed to make that type of change.

Actually, the easiest way is to just use a different Homepage.

Note that you can also use a background image (possibly with a solid color) that you place in the chrome folder.

@-moz-document url(about:home){body{background-image:bgimage.jpg}}

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.

Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.

You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder. You need to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.

You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets.
